so we may be looking to bring in ricky williams and osi. osi would be sweet in my opinion. ricky doesnt make too much sense, as the backfield is insanely crowded. maybe that means BJGE wants too much money, and could be on the way out? who knows man.. but exciting nonetheless with roth and brock also in the mix

Thanks to BoneKrusher for this amazing sig!

Go Gators/Pats/Celts/Red Sox!

It's weird, for sure. I'm not completely following what's going on. We invested a premium draft pick for Vereen to make an impact right away as well as give us a big play threat. Then we used a third round pick in Ridley, usually talking about a guy expected to make the roster for sure, in a guy that would be a clear replacement for Morris....who we resign. Then we bring Faulk back when Woodhead(who we extended last season) was basically a rich mans version of last year, minus some of the savvy and pass blocking ability.

I definitely prefer Haynesworth to admit this rather than pretend that he's a great worker and teammate when history says otherwise.

I hope what he realised is that there's not many other places he can go and be put in such a good position to succeed. If he turns up the defensive line could be at it's strongest since it was VW, Warren and Seymour from about 6 years ago.

That assumes Osi stays healthy as well as Haynesworth ( and that he'll return to form). I'm going to stay grounded with my expectations until I start seeing everything work out, and pray no big injuries. Would be exciting if we got Osi however.

Im going to go the other way, im gonna assume they get Osi and him, Haynesworth and Wilfork have all pro seasons while Cunningham has double digit sacks from LE.

And Ocho will break Moss' TD record on the way to the Pats winning the Superbowl

I'm not down trading for someone who wants to a giant pay increase when we still need to sign our own players (Mankins!!!)

I'd have to agree with this. I'm all for Osi if they can swing it but not before they get Mankins locked up long term. I'd feel much more confident for Solder's prospects long term if he has Mankins beside him

BoneKrusher killing it with the sig

Osi isn't getting his money here if we do end up landing him. That doesn't really make a whole ton of sense because of that element IMO, just seems like it doesn't fit our profile to give up a valuable asset for a guy that's going to require cash to keep as well.

I can get behind that. Shane Vereen already projects to be an upgrade, but doesn't bring the same kind of power that Lawfirm brings to the table. Ricky could do that. Maybe it's a move with that in mind? We'll have to see.

I think the guy we're overlooking is Ridley. Granted I haven't seen a ton of him, but from his prospect videos he looks like a carbon copy of Lawfirm only a bit bigger. He is a downhill runner, and instead of paying a guy like BJGE $5 million a year like he might be able to get on the open market you can pay a guy like Ridley $800,000 and almost get the same thing. If you have him doing most of the work late in the game and in short yardage situations, then you can have Vereen and Woodhead do most of the receiving and blocking.
